Theplanet was once inhabited by a "race of titans", who rid themselves of all inner evil and negative thought and left the planet centuries ago as beings "whose beauty dazzles all who see it." The evil that they shed manifested as a malevolent being named [[Armus]], who remained on the planet. The creature threatened the [[crew]]of a {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} [[shuttlecraft]] that crash-landed on the surface in [[2364]].Italso killed [[Lieutenant]] [[TashaYar]], who was partof the [[awayteam]] assigned to recover them. After the crew of the ''Enterprise'' escaped, they destroyed the shuttle to trap Armus on the planet. Vagra II was subsequently placed under [[quarantine]]. ({{TNG|Skin ofEvil}})
